L3560 hst-c LE arrived Friday and I love it. Never had a hydrostatic tractor before. Coming from a mf135 I'm very impressed. The bota cuts much thicker foliage and has great traction. Would love to post some pics when I figure out how.

3 row plow was a little tough on her but she still did the job. Very impressed so far.

Very nice! I'm hoping that later this year that I can add the grapple to my L3560. Which grapple is that?

Grapple is a small land pride. It's not very big but I was ok with that because the smaller grapple freed up some lifting capacity. Its 0554. Bad part is there are not grease fittings. It probably won't last 10 years but it was significantly cheaper than a wicked grapple. The manual says the 0554 only weighs 180 lbs.

Thank you. I'm still trying to decide which way to go, the finance committee (AKA wife) will most likely make the final decision.

Not surprised you had some difficulty with a three bottom;I run a 2/14 behind a L4240.Anyway you may want to look at a Green's Machine Thumb for your bucket;about $400 and a real useful tool.That with a tooth-bar does all I need and is very light.
Congrats on the new rig;nice tractor.I am on my second Grand L.
